Thank you all

I've learn so much from all you guys and enjoy every read.

Update: all family members all agreed that mom will not have dialysis in the future... Due to her age; turning 80 plus other conditions that she has, we feel that dialysis will not benefit her. I also thank and pray the lord to watch, guide, protect all of you.

I will continue to read, but for now I am going to care for my mommy. Smiling...

Thank you all

Dear Kia,

Thank you for the update. It's good to hear that all of your sibs agree with you about your mom's situation and decision not to pursue dialysis.

As her caregiver, have you considered, or is your mom already in palliative care or hospice care? The resources for patients and families are remarkable. (With palliative care you don't need a doctor's order, with hospice care you do.)

God bless you, your mother, and your family. May he give you all the strength, patience, and grace that you need going forward.

Peace 😊

Hello Grateful4_life,

Its was just a discussing between the doctors; Nephrology, Endocrinology, and her Primary Doctor. So that we understand about the near future when the time comes.

Currently mom is outgoing, happy, with no problems besides her Kidneys. Unfortunately, one of the family member thinks that mom will benefit to have Dialysis treatment as for the rest we do not agree. This talk has been hard on all.

As for Palliative care and hospice, I will be looking into it when time comes closer.

Thank you

Thanks for the update, Kia. I understand how difficult it is for entire families to agree on health decisions for parents.

Good luck with everything. I wish you and your family well.
